PerkinElmer AutoDELFIA hCG Kit Recalled for Potential Measurement Inaccuracy
PerkinElmer is recalling AutoDELFIA hCG Kits because hCG concentrations may be decreased by 15-20% at the lower measuring range.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves potential measurement inaccuracy without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
